Yes, it seems you are right. How about "trigger group well"? I am just guessing here, but this term is used often and seems to apply to the same part.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I did check this of course, but this term seems to be used only with pistols and old fashioned rifles, not with modern rifles like the M16


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Siobhan Schoonhoff-Reilly: A quick cross reference on Google shows that 'trigger housing' is also used for M16s.
